The Ballroom, 15 Orange Street,
Canterbury, CT1 2JA
7.30pm
GLASSHOUSE is a World-jazz Sextet that combines the
best of modern groove-based music from North Africa and the US with
absorbing original compositions. Their material stretches from Santana
to Salah Ragab and the Cairo Jazz Band, from Fela Kuti to Cuba's Willie
Bobo.
Original compositions exploit the sax-trumpet leads of Daniel Cano and
Peter Cook and promote the under stated talents of drummer Matt Goodsmith and
singer/percussionist Kevin Richards. Italian bass supremo Maurizio
Borgna finds ingenious ways to bind these front and back line
activities! Martin Goodsmith heads up the band on
guitar and keys and is responsible for the band's original material.
The distinctive 'band sound' comes from a carefully selected set based
on fun, dance-ability and originality.
Featured music also includes Fela Kuti, Ernest Ranglin and the Neville
Brothers.

Support comes from new three-piece MAHALAS: Their music is a fusion
inspired by Indian, Arabic and African music traditions. Mahalas
consists of Dan Sayers on Bansouri flute and slide ukulele, Charlie
Welch on bass and djembe drums, and Yiannis Zaronis on guitar, vocals
and darabukka. The group performs original material and an eclectic mix
of world music melodies with an emphasis on improvisation . Up beat
rhythms and haunting melodies are just some of the characteristics of
Mahalas music.
